Green Hokkaido (Aka Kabocha) Squash Filled With Joy – And Aromatic Wheat Rice, Both Locally Produced By Oma Maa Food Co-op!

Published by Asli

A few weeks ago, I published a podcast episode where my guest was Ruby Van Der Wekken from Oma Maa food co-op. About a week later, I visited Lassila farm in Tuusula where Oma Maa produces their products, for the first time. It was both beautiful and informative, and it was very important for me to see all that hard work happening daily in a farm. I will write more about that visit and about Oma Maa in another blog post, but for now, here is a recipe with a cute green hokkaido I got from them last Sunday! So yes, last Sunday I was with Oma Maa folks again, this time only in the big kitchen area where they make products such as different kinds of flours, grains like bulgur, falafel, pasta and so on.

Published by Asli

When covid-19 came, everyone started to bake – cakes, cookies, but especially their own bread. In the first few weeks it was hard to find yeast in the supermarkets. I don’t know if the initial baking frenzy died down or not, but I baked before and I will continue still. So let me present you this easy peasy bread recipe in case you’re still on baking.

Gluten Free Thursday: Ssspicy Colourful Beans And Coconut Curry

Published by Asli

A few weeks ago, I was trying to find something different to make with green beans. Everything was boring – meaning, I knew what the taste would be like. Finally, on BBC Good Food website, I saw a Sri Lankan bean curry recipe. The ingredients were all familiar but I was intrigued by the flavours. Inspired by that recipe, I decided to make my own version with my own twists.
